add highlighted milestones from worksheet

Three theoretical perspectives on development

1. Neurological

2. Biology, maturation, & cognition

3. Environment & social context

Developmental milestone

A behavior, ability, or skill that emerges at a particular age in most children

Primitive reflexes

dominant at birth and integrates during the first year (retained if not)

Children develop postural reflexes by age ____

2. Cognitive

3. Social

4. Emotional (inculdes self-regulation)

5. Speech & language

6. Identity, self-help/management skills

Sensory processing disorder (SPD)

Sensory signals are either not detected or don’t get organized into appropriate responses

4 sensory models

1. Fisher & Murray

2. Mulligan

3. Dunn

4. Miller, et al

Fisher & Murray sensory model

Poor modulation - ineffective regulation of sensory stimuli

Poor praxis - ineffective movement

Mulligan sensory model

SIPT test to identify patterns

Dunn sensory model

Neurological threshold and method of responding

Miller et al sensory model

Three types of sensory challenges

1. Sensory modulation disorder

2. Sensory discrimination disorder

3. Sensory-based motor disorder
